"Oh no, you are no longer a member of the Apocassery family, I can only call you——Abner."

Abner frowned, feeling that it was impossible for this person exuding a strange aura to be the chief priest, "Who are you?"

"As you can see," the chief priest glanced at the red dragon on the staff, "I am the chief priest."

"How could the Four Kingdoms choose you as the chief priest!"

The head priest laughed, "Hahahaha... Do you think I don't look like the head priest? So what?"

Suddenly the face of the chief priest began to twitch, his facial features twisted and changed, Abner swallowed, and the current chief priest turned into the long-lost former chief priest!

"Who are you?" Abner was stunned.

The chief priest narrowed his eyes.

The angel called out "Father" and threw himself into the arms of the chief priest. The chief priest hugged the angel, and his huge wings covered his face.

"My dad is the nicest guy in the world!"

The angel fluttered its wings excitedly, and when the wings fell, Abner saw that the face of the former chief priest turned into Priest Meimei again!

"Good morning, Master Abner." Priest Meimei smiled wantonly.

Abner shuddered, searching all kinds of memories about Priest Meimei in his mind like chaos, but no matter what he couldn't connect that seemingly unreliable person with the present weird scene.

"...Who the hell are you?" Abner's back felt cold.

Priest Meimei's smile gradually subsided, and she put down the angel. Her red eyes were shining, and when she looked into it, it was as breathtaking as an abyss.A pair of black horns gradually grew out of the forehead, followed by a cloud of pitch-black smoke lingering from the back, the smoke gradually shredded and gathered, turning into a pair of smooth black wings.

"When I was God's favorite, I was haunted by light, and God called me an 'archangel', and when I was not in line with God, he expelled me from the heaven that he thought was the most pleasing, and then darkness enveloped me, and the whole body They are all evil spirits," Priest Meimei's right hand was hanging in the air, and a walking stick was born, with a pair of horns at the top, emitting golden and black light. "I just know that these souls are all abandoned by gods. Biting and cursing each other endlessly."

"Are you a devil?" Abner frowned. He remembered that Oreas had told him that the devil, the lord of hell, was an archangel expelled by God, with horns on his head and the body of a red dragon.

Priest Meimei chuckled, "I don't like this title. You can still call me Mephis, or Mephisto. Of course, you can also call me Priest Meimei. Maybe I'll be happier."

Abner quietly took two steps back, trying to find a chance to escape.

Mephisto narrowed his eyes, and seemed to see through his thoughts clearly, "Actually, you don't have to be so afraid of me. Hell can't bear your soul. I won't take your soul when it floats there."

"What do you mean?" Abner stared at Mephisto closely.

"You fell off your horse when you were ten, remember?"

Abner was taken aback, "So what."

"At that time your soul was thrown out of your body, floating in front of the gate of hell, and I was forced to rescue you," Mephistopheles chuckled, and continued, "Your soul is very interesting, as the Son of God The eternal soul given to you is the main heart, and the rest are mixed with the soul fragments of four people."

Soul fragments?Abner remembered that Alfred once said that Oreas injected soul fragments into his body, thereby covering up the aura of the Son of God.

"The first one is the silly girl from the Snow Witch clan who was married to the Son of God, that is, your real mother. The second and third are your parents here, the Duke and Duchess of Apocassery, but the fourth one, Surprised me..."

"It's Aureas." Abner replied.

Mephisto raised his eyebrows and snorted softly: "Uh huh, that's right, little baby, you are very lucky to have so many souls supporting your breathing, especially the soul of Aureas can hide you good."

"What do you want to say?"

"Do you know...how much horrific jealousy can a descendant of the son of God who is lost in the world and approved by the gods attract? I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even one day. The soul of the son of God is a good delicacy in the eyes of evil spirits. They will They tried their best to trap you, and then thousands of evil spirits bit your body until they devoured your soul bit by bit."

Mephisto's red eyes gradually darkened, and his face was terribly pale.

"Why do you say that?" Abner said indifferently.

"Don't forget, I was once a son of God," Mephisto sneered, "but I'm not as lucky as you, so many people are secretly protecting you from being devoured by evil spirits."

Abner stared at Mephistopheles, doubting the authenticity of his words, after all, devils are good at deceiving people.

At this moment, the angel seemed to be getting impatient, holding Mephistopheles' thighs and screaming, Mephistopheles rubbed his head, and stretched his hands out of the window behind him, suddenly a white rabbit flew in from outside, Mephistopheles Ster grabbed the rabbit ears and handed them to him, "Go to the side and eat, don't get yourself dirty, good boy."

"No! I don't want to eat this! This is not good!" the angel muttered.

Abner's scalp was numb, and what the angel wanted to eat should be human flesh.

Mephisto rubbed his head again, and said, "This side will splatter blood all over the place, and then I won't be happy."

The angel nuzzled his mouth, picked up the rabbit, ran to the side, and bit the rabbit's neck. The rabbit struggled a few times and stopped moving.

Mephisto glanced at Abner and said, "You think this kid is disgusting, don't you?"

Abner stared at him, wondering what he wanted to do.

"But he was also a son of God." Mephistopheles glanced at the angel's huge wings.

Abner snorted lightly, "Yeah, he's just an abandoned son of God."

Mephisto raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you know a lot, but I'm afraid you don't know why he was abandoned."

"A man-eating angel is not tolerated by God."

"That's right," Mephisto walked up to the angel and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "but cannibalism is not the child's fault, it is God's accident when he created him that made him have this habit , but God could not completely destroy the formed God Son, so he had to throw him to hell. When I saw this child, his god bones had been eaten away by evil spirits, but the habit of cannibalism still could not be changed. He stared at me with wide eyes, crying out for pain and hunger.”

Abner trembled, and saw the full-fledged angel flapping its wings and sleeping in Mephisto's arms, so well-behaved that people mistakenly thought it was a gentle child.

"Without the god bone and unable to die, this child can only maintain the appearance of a child. I saw him panicking in hell, so I reincarnated him, but his baby state could not last long, so I had to send him to a small island Go, let those greedy humans play with him."

Mephisto patted the angel's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually fell asleep.Then he said a spell to the staff, and suddenly a tall flame appeared in front of Abner, and a person stepped out of it.

Abner stared wide-eyed, it was Adrian!

"Send him back," Mephisto said, handing the angel to Adrian.

Adrian walked towards the flames with the angel in his arms, and Abner couldn't help shouting: "Adrien!"

Adrian paused, looked at Abner, there was no wave in his eyes, then turned around and stepped into the fire.

"Adrien!" Abner called again hastily.

Adrian paused, and said softly: "Thank you."

Then disappeared in the flames.

Abner watched the flames that hid him gradually disappear until only himself and Memphis remained in the entire stand.

Mephisto narrowed his eyes and said, "Now, it's time to deal with your business."

"what?"

Before Abner could react, his shoulder suddenly hurt, and his body was suspended in the air. He raised his head, his mind was numb, and a black hole appeared on the ceiling of the room, and a black hole protruded from the hole. Withered claws firmly gripped his shoulders and dragged him towards the black hole.

The unknown black fear invaded Abner, the smell of rust gushed out of his throat, he trembled, and shouted loudly: "Oreas—Aoreas—save me——"

"Oreas? Hehe," Mephisto said to him, "I'm afraid he's busy saving his former people now, why would he think of you?"

"what happened!"

Abner's body has been dragged into the black hole, his whole body is pitch black, he can't see anything, but he can always faintly smell the disgusting smell, very similar to the dead man's breath he smelled on Death Island, accompanied by sticky The sound of friction is like countless snakes and earthworms entangled with each other, secreting mucus.

He leaned towards the sword, just as he touched the hilt, suddenly his waist loosened, and the sword was inexplicably lost.

Damn it, he gritted his teeth, and raised his arm to try to tear off that horrible withered hand, but suddenly his wrist felt a prickly pain, and he wanted to withdraw it with a "hiss", but was entangled by a cold thing, and he kept Trembling, the greasy scales are like a snake, and the coldness spreads from the hand to the whole body in an instant, this snake-like creature is slowly wrapping the arm from the hand, and then the chest, neck, face...

damn it.

He was so strangled that he couldn't breathe, and even the slightest sound in the darkness made him feel that it had opened its mouth to him. He closed his eyes tightly and held his breath, for fear of alarming this unknown terrifying creature.

Gradually, he felt a faint light above his head, but he didn't dare to move at all, letting the withered claws drag him up.

Finally, he felt the light penetrate through his eyelids, and the breeze brushed his face, and he slowly opened his eyes.

There was a chill, and blood turned red immediately.

Wrapping him was a big red snake, which opened its mouth wide to devour him. The black letter almost brushed his nose, and the stench came over his face.

"My lord, don't move, I will help you!"

He heard a familiar voice, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Ou Fuliang running towards him in a hurry.He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating in his throat.

Suddenly he saw that Ou Fuliang had turned into a meerkat, the fur all over his body exploded, and his back arched.

Abner stared wide-eyed, this was the first time he saw Ou Fuliang's animal form.Knowing that the meerkat catches snakes, he was slightly relieved.

Sure enough, after the Red Snake vomited his letter to him, he quickly got off his body, and then coiled into a coil, raised his head, and opened his mouth wide to Ou Fuliang, making the letter public.But Ou Fuliang was not in a hurry to attack, but arched his body, his black eyes were fixed on the red snake.

Suddenly, as if frightened, the red snake lowered its head and slid away quickly.

Only then did Abner regain his senses, got up from the ground, and found that the black hole that should have been there had disappeared, and he was sitting on a small piece of flat ground, the surrounding was very cold, and there was not a single bird. It should be a very high place in the Tongtian Tower.He turned around and saw a spiky ornate building with a huge red dragon carved on the top. This is probably the top of Tongtian Tower.

"My lord, please follow me to a safe place."

Ou Fuliang has changed back to human form, and he is still meticulous, leading Abner to the top of Tongtian Tower.

"Did you see something scary just now..." Abner asked as he walked.

"If that rare red snake is something scary."

"Besides the snake, did you see some black things, probably like burnt claws?"

"No," Ou Fuliang was stunned, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Abner looked back at the flat ground, as if it was just a dream, but he twitched his shoulder, the pain was still there, and raised his wrist again, there was a small wound, which was bitten by a snake just now.

He was startled, he didn't seem to feel any discomfort, maybe the snake wasn't poisonous.

What is going on?

"My lord, please come in." Ou Fuliang pushed open the door.

Abner glanced at the narrow ladder inside, it was pitch black.

"What are you doing here? Where is Oreas? It should be sacrificed soon, right?" Abner asked.

"My lord, it's a bit chaotic outside now. You know that some people don't want to convert to Chilong. The king is stabilizing the crowd below and let me protect you. Now, the Tongtian Tower is in a mess except for the top. After a while , the king will come to pick you up, you come with me first, in case the king can't find you then." Ou Fuliang bowed respectfully and motioned Abner to go in.

Abner looked back at the white plains and gray sky again, as if he was still in a dream, and followed Ou Fuliang into it.

"Boom-"

The door behind him was closed, and Abner, who had stepped on the stairs, was stunned. The surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. The feeling of fear and bewilderment just now rose again.

"Ou Fuliang? Where are you?" Abner could only hear his own heartbeat.

Suddenly, he heard the slight sound of rubbing the fire, turned his head suddenly, and saw Ou Fuliang standing behind him, holding a torch, half of his face was illuminated by the light of the fire, pale and indifferent.
